    Part-Time CNC Lathe & Mill Machinist

    Brownsburg, Indiana | $27–$38/hour, based on experience | Flexible Schedule

    Looking for a Flexible Machining Opportunity?

    Are you an experienced machinist who doesn't necessarily want—or need—a full-time job?

    Maybe you're looking to supplement your income, stay active in the trade, work a few days a week, or simply share the experience you've built over the years with the next generation of machinists.

    We're looking for an experienced CNC Lathe and Mill Machinist to join our team on a part-time, flexible basis.

    Ideally, we're looking for someone who wants to work 2–3 days per week, but we're also open to someone who prefers half-day shifts or another schedule that works for both of us.

    Our standard shop hours are 7:00 AM–3:30 PM, and we're willing to discuss a schedule within those hours that makes sense for the right person.

    There may also be opportunities for additional hours from time to time, depending on our workload and your availability.

    What You'll Do

    Set up and operate CNC lathes to produce close-tolerance precision components

    Set up and operate CNC mills as needed

    Read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and work instructions

    Make offsets and minor program edits

    Select appropriate tooling and optimize setups

    Develop and troubleshoot fixturing and workholding solutions

    Perform in-process and final inspections using precision measuring equipment

    Troubleshoot machining issues and find practical solutions

    Help maintain quality documentation and follow our AS9100 quality standards

    Share your machining knowledge and experience with other members of the team

    What We're Looking For

    We're looking for a seasoned machinist who knows how to make parts—and knows how to figure things out when something isn't going according to plan.

    Ideally, you have:

    10+ years of CNC machining experience

    Strong CNC lathe setup and operation experience

    Strong CNC mill setup and operation experience

    The ability to read blueprints and hold tight tolerances

    A solid understanding of tooling, speeds, feeds, and machining fundamentals

    G-code editing experience

    GD&T knowledge

    Experience making offsets and minor program edits

    The ability to troubleshoot setups, tooling, and machining problems

    Strong attention to detail and pride in producing quality work

    A dependable, professional approach to your work

    Experience Matters Here

    This position could be a great fit for someone who has spent years in the machining trade and wants to keep doing what they enjoy—without committing to a traditional full-time schedule.

    We're especially interested in someone who enjoys sharing knowledge and helping others learn.

    You don't have to be looking for a management position. You don't have to be looking for a full-time career.

    If you have years of experience, know your way around a lathe and mill, and enjoy helping others become better machinists, we'd like to talk with you.

    Bonus Qualifications

    CAM experience (Fusion 360, Mastercam, or similar)

    Experience with Haas, Mazak, Fanuc, or similar controls

    Aerospace or defense manufacturing experience

    Trade school, apprenticeship, or equivalent training

    Experience troubleshooting difficult machining or setup problems

    Why Join Us?

    We're an AS9100/ISO-certified machine shop focused on quality, precision, and continuous improvement.

    You'll work in a clean, climate-controlled facility with well-maintained CNC equipment and a team that values experience and craftsmanship.

    We believe experienced machinists have a lot to offer—not just in the parts they make, but in the knowledge they can pass along to others.

    If you're looking for a part-time machining position with flexibility, want to supplement your income, or simply want to stay involved in the trade and share what you've learned, this may be a great fit.

    Compensation & Benefits

    $27–$38/hour, based on experience

    Flexible part-time schedule

    2–3 days per week preferred, with half-day schedules considered

    Additional hours may be available depending on workload and availability

    No health, dental, vision, PTO, or other full-time benefits are offered with part-time positions

    401(k) with company matching available after 1 year of service

    Schedule

    Our standard shop hours are 7:00 AM–3:30 PM.
